Notes

Sticky cereal treat with almonds on large baking sheet with wooden spoon resting in the cereal.

Since I first published this recipe, we've moved toward a low-tox lifestyle. I still wanted to try this recipe, but wanted to incorporate better-for-you ingredients. These are the swaps I made:

15 cups Barbara's Multigrain Spoonfuls

1 ½ cups Agave syrup

1 ½ cups coconut sugar

1 cup + 2 Tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ cup almonds, sliced

Follow the recipe instructions as written!

The syrup turned out a darker color because of the Agave and coconut sugar but it still made for a tasty treat! It has a different flavor than the original recipe but it's so good my family couldn't stop eating it!
